My boss wants me to go on a business trip in February, I am due May 21. I told our secretary that I think it would be to much for me and I really do not want to do anything to harm the baby, but I was curious when is the latest you can fly? Thanks everyone...

Flying is fine until the very end of your pregnancy. Mostly this is important because some insurances will not cover your delivery if you fly within a certain time frame of your due date and end up delivering in a non participating hospital. However, from your dates, if you are having a normal, healthy pregnancy there is no reason you shouldn't go.

Flying while you are pregnant is completly safe however, most airlines need the approval from your doctor to let you fly past 8 months. I had to have a written statement from my doctor to fly 45 mins to ATL when I was 8 1/2 months pregnant. So I would say the best thing to do is check with the airlines and your doctor before the tickets are bought.----Crystal

You can fly up to 36 weeks during pregnancy. However, before you fly, you need to contact the airline that you're using to see whether they have any rules against you flying during pregnancy. You should also let your doctor know too. If there are any health issues, he/she would recommend that you stay home instead.

If you are having a healthy pregnancy, you would probably still be OK to fly at that point. They usually don't want you to fly in the last month or so.

as long as you and the baby are healthy i dont see any reason why you cant fly. you will still have 3 months before the baby is due. When i was pregnant and went to pre-natale classes they told us that you can do just about anything including sky diving as long as you are comfortable doing it. if you want to be sure ask your doctor he knows you.

my docotor told me that I could fly intill i was 71/2 months but it might depend on everyones body and some airlines will not let you fly if you are 6+months and some even need a note from your Doctor say that you are able to fly

I think that the latest they recommend you fly is 8 months. You should be okay but check with your doc, also check with the airline sometimes they have their own restrictions.

my midwife said there is no limit on flying, the only time they suggest you dont fly is when you are 30 weeks and more and that is because the chances of having the baby go up. there are no health reasons though.

until about 8 months inless you are having complications... or think you may go into early labor for some reason... other wise you should be fine
